KrugRosé 28th Edition Bottle (0.75L) | Naked Bottle
In 1976, with the non-conformist spirit of Joseph Krug in mind, the fifth generation of the Krug family created a new composition, a bold rosé inspired by the House’s renowned art of blending, to be recreated each year. Blend of 32 wines from 6 different years, the youngest from 2016, the oldest from 2010, Krug Rosé 28th Edition is an unexpected rosé champagne performing a true balancing act, between finesse and substance, thanks to a blend of wines with contrasting characters. An ageing period of approximately seven years in the cellar gives this 28th Edition its unique expression and elegance.

Visually, its subtle pale pink color is synonymous with elegance.
On the nose
On the nose, it reveals aromas of rosehip, smoked ham, blackberry, currant, peony, pepper and pink grapefruit.
In the mouth
On the palate, bold red fruits like raspberry, currant, cherry, blackcurrant, cranberry, and goji berry give way to softer and sweeter notes of crushed vine peach and basil strawberry salad. The finish begins with slightly bitter citrus notes, grapefruit and lime zest, enhanced by its fine bubbles.
Unexpectedly, Krug Rosé 28th Edition pairs ideally with flavourful dishes, it replaces a good red wine at the table with brilliance. It can be enjoyed with foie gras, lamb, game, white meats, venison, or even spicy dishes. Krug Rosé is not recommended for desserts, except for unsweetened ones.
Serve between 9 and 12°C.
Like all Krug Champagnes, Krug Rosé 28th Edition will continue to develop over time.
Blend of 32 wines from 6 different years, the youngest from 2016, the oldest from 2010. Its final composition is 58% Pinot Noir, including 10% traditionally macerated Pinot Noir from the Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ plots, 25% Chardonnay, and 17% Meunier.
Krug Rosé 28th Edition was composed around the 2016 harvest, a year with such contrasting weather conditions that it became a caricature of the climate pendulum. An extremely wet spring, with more than 70% of normal rainfall between April and June, made work in the vineyards difficult and increased disease pressure. Mild weather followed flowering, allowing the vineyard to recover, only to end with a heatwave at the end of ripening.
